And there it is: EA has officially removed in-game purchases from Star Wars Battlefront 2... For now, anyway. The title's microtransactions were taken offline not too long ago, which got people talking about what the publisher could possibly be planning. Turns out that they're going to be gone for some time.
In a statement, DICE...

Star Wars Battlefront 2 developer DICE threw itself into the lion's den yesterday as it hosted a Reddit AMA. For those out of the loop, this basically means that members of the dev team sat down and took the time to answer questions and respond to feedback over on Reddit. As you'd expect, things didn't exactly go smoothly for...

Technically, Battlefield 5 hasn't been officially announced yet, but it's looking more and more inevitable that the shooter - which we know is currently in development - is going to be revealed very soon. According to German publication Play3.de, official sources have confirmed that the game's going to be shown next Friday, the...

For a game that came out over two years ago, Battlefield 4 is amazingly still being supported, despite developer DICE working on Star Wars Battlefront as well.
In what could be a final Battlefield 4 farewell, DICE announced in a new trailer that a free download, called Battlefield 4: Legacy...

The original Mirror’s Edge worked incredibly hard to put you in free-runner Faith’s shoes, employing numerous animations to make you feel like you were sprinting across rooftops and balancing on narrow beams. This level of first-person immersion seems like a perfect fit for virtual reality, with Project Morpheus presumably set...

Since its first venture, Mirrors Edge 2 has been on the wish list of many staffers here at Push Square towers – and during EA's press conference, we were given the first juicy details on the free-running action. Heroine Faith returns, with a new minimalistic wardrobe – ditching her bulky bag for a new body belt. Her sleek yet cool...

DICE has been behind one of the most recognisable shooter franchises of all time with Battlefield, which continues to press on as seen with the recent reveal of Battlefield Hardline. So, since EA acquired the rights to produce Star Wars games, there was no doubt that it would utilize DICE's talents, which was confirmed...

Mirror’s Edge 2 may have been a certainty for EA Games’ sizeable E3 2014 showing ever since it revealed that it’d have six titles on display, but that assumption has now been confirmed courtesy of Spike’s always entertaining All Access Live schedule. Specifically, the itinerary mentions “updates” on the DICE developed

You know that you’ve got it bad when you have to put all of your upcoming projects on hold because the one that you initially released last month doesn’t actually work. Battlefield 4 is a top-notch first-person shooter on the PlayStation 4, but it’s currently riddled with technical issues that are affecting the majority of...

It’s definitely still alive. Confirming that this year’s E3 is off to an absolute stormer, EA has revealed that Mirror’s Edge 2 is in development – and will release when it’s ready. The debut trailer – embedded below – shows protagonist Faith getting inked, and racing through a slew of serene environments. The title...

The hotly anticipated sequel to Mirror’s Edge is apparently in production at Swedish developer DICE. Ben Cousins, the general manager of ngmoco Sweden, revealed the tidbit in a Tweet posted earlier this afternoon. The executive stated: "It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE."...

Swedish developer DICE is dusting off the party poppers and scoffing down the pink wafer biscuits as we speak: the studio is not only celebrating its 20th year in business, but also the 10th anniversary of its Battlefield franchise.
Chatting at GDC Europe, general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson revealed that the first-person...

Battlefield 3 and Mirror’s Edge developer DICE has started work on a new IP. That’s according to the CV of script writer Adrian Vershinin, who previously worked at new Sony studio Superbot Entertainment. The EA owned outfit has been pretty quiet since the release of Battlefield 3 last year, opting to focus its attention on new DLC...

With ambitious titles such as DUST 514 on the horizon, Sony is really pushing the concept of PlayStation Network as an open network. The most recent example of that comes in the form of Battlefield 3’s latest patch, which will allow players to rent and maintain their own servers on PS3. Renting your own server will allow you...

The second major Battlefield 3 DLC pack is due in June, DICE has announced. Entitled Close Quarters, the expansion will bundle four maps, 10 weapons and, sadly, no vehicles – we suppose the title was chosen for a reason. DICE also announced that the game will get two more packs beyond its June expansion: Armour Kill and End Game...

An eagle-eyed Battlefield 3 player has spotted what looks like a hint at developer DICE's next game

An Easter egg hidden deep within Wake Island — which ships as part of the the game's Back To Karkand expansion pack — shows the number 2143 scrawled on a wall. Alone it means nothing, but fansite BF3Blog points out that DICE has a habit of revealing future sequels in existing games. Way back in..

The debut Battlefield 3 expansion pack, Back To Karkand, is available now from the PlayStation Store

If you purchased a specially marked limited edition copy of EA and DICE's destructive shooter, then the DLC is yours to download for free. Everyone else will need to stump up a reasonable £11.99 / $14.99. In order to celebrate the DLC's release, EA has released a brand new trailer showing off the..

Are you ready to head 'Back To Karkand'? No time to think soldier, you're going anyway

Publisher EA has confirmed that Battlefield 3's debut expansion pack will launch on PlayStation 3 as soon as December 6th. That's a week earlier than on other platforms, as promised by the publisher at launch. The pack's comprised of four maps from previous Battlefield games, all remastered in Battlefield 3's..

It might be struggling to topple Activision's latest Call Of Duty title, but EA's Battlefield 3 is certainly no slouch

Chatting at the Baird Technology Conference yesterday, EA financial gaffer Eric Brown revealed that Battlefield 3 has sold a ridiculous eight million copies. According to Brown, the publisher has shipped 12 million copies of the game to stores. Expect it to sell through much of..

The official Battlefield 3 Twitter account has announced plans to launch the latest edition of its client update on PlayStation 3 tomorrow

PC players received the same update last week, which improves a variety of issues with the game across single-player and multiplayer. We've listed the full extent of the fixes after the jump. Feel free to moan in the comments if your favourite exploit has been..

EA has deployed a brand new trailer for Battlefield 3's upcoming Back To Karkand DLC pack

The footage focuses on the Gulf Of Oman map, and puts a big emphasis on vehicular combat. Boom, boom, boom. The DLC's set to launch next month. Hit the jump to check the map in action. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py3s8RjZ6KY

After a messy month or so culminating in a class-action lawsuit, EA has announced that it will give Battlefield 3 players on the PS3 a free copy of Battlefield 1943 as originally promised

The bonus was announced earlier in the year at E3, but was mysteriously absent from retail copies of the game. EA said that it was offering PlayStation 3 players a window of exclusivity on all Battlefield 3's DLC..

Sometimes things go to far. And this is an example of that. Law firm Edelson McGuire has filed a class action lawsuit against EA regarding the removal of Battlefield 1943 from PS3 copies of Battlefield 3. Those with strong memories will remember the additional incentive was promised during Sony's E3 press conference back in June. But only recently we found out that the added extra was not..

If you're one of the "hundreds of offending" Battlefield 3 cheaters then don't expect to hop online for a quick game this evening. Chances are your account has been blocked and all your statistics with it. EA has said it has "zero tolerance" for those exploiting the game, and is "determined to punish the players who play without integrity". Unfortunately,..

Microsoft's XBOX 360 continued its North American domination throughout October, leaving the PlayStation 3 sitting behind

It was a big month for multiplatform software, with Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City, NBA 2K12 and RAGE all appearing in the top five. Surprising, huh? Sony touted a 5% increase in software sales for the year, and also announced that inFamous: Festival Of Blood had become the..

Fire is hot. And EA has confirmed Battlefield 4. After the staggering early sales reports for Battlefield 3, it was never in doubt that there would be another entry in the DICE developed first-person shooter. And that's exactly what EA's Frank Gibeau has announced upon the unexpected back-drop of a college campus. "There is going to be a Battlefield 4," the suit splurted,..

Servers have been up and down like a jack-in-the-box, with players left wondering if there is a fault at EA's end or elsewhere. In order to alleviate issues, the publisher has now set up a Battlefield 3 server status page — an online destination which alerts players whether the servers are officially running or not. As trouble shooting goes, it's..

We're sure a lot of Battlefield 3 owners are looking wistfully at that currently unattainable copy of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lingering on the horizon. But EA doesn't want you to leave its game — at least not yet. So it's hedging its bets that this 'Back To Karkand' DLC trailer will keep you hooked on Battlefield 3. At least..

Pepper to release some exclusive DLC for Battlefield 3 this week. Those that purchase a specially marked bottle of Dr. Pepper will score a redeemable code for a variety of in-game Battlefield 3 goodies. This includes PlayStation Home avatars, multiplayer skins and special edition dog-tags. We're pretty keen on the Rebecca Black themed dog-tag..

EA has announced that according to internal estimates, Battlefield 3 has sold more than five million copies since its launch last week. The most amazing thing is that it's the biggest launch in the publisher's history. Like, ever. So far players have executed 73 million saviour kills, 48 million revives, and destroyed 67 million vehicles. Who else loves..

Given the ten million copies EA shipped, it would have been more surprising if Battlefield 3 didn't take the top-spot of this week's UK sales charts

The heavily anticipated DICE developed shooter has toppled last week's winner, Batman: Arkham City, to claim the number one spot in a largely familiar top-ten. Activision's Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure continued its assault up the chart, jumping from..

Battlefield 3 is now available in the UK, after launching earlier in the week in North America

In order to celebrate the game's release, EA figured it was appropriate to drum up some publicity. So it sent some tanks and an APC into the centre of London. We hope you're not missing the connection. (Just in case: Battlefield 3 is a military game and tanks are military vehi--oh you do get it? Why..

But bloody nora, Battlefield 3's early sales figures are still mightily impressive all the same. EA has announced at the company's Q2 sales briefing that it has shipped 10 million copies of Battlefield 3 (which launched this week in North America and Europe). The company as a whole was bolstered by strong sales in its sports sector — with the likes of FIFA and..

The head-to-head between Battlefield 3 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this Christmas is the only one that matters. And the competition is so fierce that not even the Paris Games Week can pick a winner. The best shooter award was, well, a tie. Seriously. Both Battlefield 3 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 took home the gong. Elsewhere, Sony..

Despite being announced at E3 earlier in the year, PlayStation 3 copies of Battlefield 3 will not include a free copy of downloadable title, Battlefield 1943

Instead, PS3 owners will get each of Battlefield 3's expansion packs a week early. For most Battlefield fans, that will probably be a fair trade — after all, we've already played 1943 to death. Someone should have probably mentioned..

We know. You're sick of hearing about Battlefield 3. You're bored of first-person shooters. You hate modern military combat. And you just wished your favourite gaming websites (!?) would write about something, anything, other than Battlefield flippin' 3. Right? Right. But one last thing before we properly stop posting about Battlefield 3 for good for 12 hours. EA's released the full..

Not sold on Battlefield 3 yet, despite its impressive sales numbers? No problemo

We've got the game's opening mission running on PlayStation 3 hardware embedded after the jump. It's suitably bombastic. (And pretty.) Catch it after the jump, and decide if you're going to join those three million other gamers who have pledged day-one support to the modern military first-person shooter. [Thanks CVG]

To celebrate the game's release in North America today, EA's announced that the game's final pre-order figures were in the three million tally — though it's unclear whether this sum applies to just the US or worldwide. Presumably the latter. Either way, you should probably assume that the game's going to do absolute gangbusters..

Hundreds of GAME and GameStation stores across the UK will open their doors on Thursday evening to run midnight launches for Battlefield 3

EA's hotly anticipated first-person shooters is destined to be one of the biggest games of the year, and the retailer group is seemingly well prepared. You can peruse the full list of participating stores through here and here. Hint: there'

Seasoned video games analyst Michael Pachter has pulled out his crystal ball for the months ahead, predicting that Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will sell twice as many copies as its rival Battlefield 3 during the fourth quarter of 2011

Chatting with Forbes, Pachter predicted that Modern Warfare 3 will sell about 16 million units during the fourth quarter of 2011, with Battlefield scooping up a..

We know Danger Close has been working on a sequel to Medal Of Honor for a good year now

It seems that EA's strategy to conquer Call Of Duty is to release iterations of Medal Of Honor and Battlefield on alternate years, and true to our prediction EA has teased the latest version of Medal Of Honor inside US copies of Battlefield 3. There's really not much to say about teaser. It essentially shows a..

Much has been said about Battlefield 3 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 pre-release

But now it's time for the games to deliver. It's DICE's turn first, and to get you in the mood the EA owned developer has released a trailer from the game's single-player campaign. We know it's running on a technical juggernaut but... Good grief. The game's out next week on PS3.

Not entirely sold on the third-entry in Bioware's space opera series Mass Effect 3 yet? No, we're kind of not either

But if you're planning on picking up Battlefield 3 — you know, because Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield are totally comparable series — then you'll get early access to Mass Effect's hotly anticipated multiplayer mode some time in January. Thankfully the demo will not just include..

The game that could do no wrong at this year's E3 has been hit by a huge backlash after a "disappointing" beta. But regardless of the upswings and troughs, DICE has come out all guns blazing with a breath-taking multiplayer trailer that shows off each of the game's multiplayer maps. This is some seriously breath-taking stuff. Watch it..

Battlefield 3 pre-orders are at about "a couple of million", EA's product manager Kevin O' Leary has revealed on US television

Chatting with FOX Business, O' Leary commented that the game is tracking "very, very well". "[We've got] a couple of million out there. We already announced some great numbers so far. [There's] a couple more weeks to go, and were very excited. You can..

DICE has revealed the final five mutliplayer maps for Battlefield 3 on its Battleblog website, bringing the game's total roster to nine

According to product manager Tommy Rydling, the final selection represents "the best of the best, the maps that shone the brightest in our playtests, and the ones that combined bring out everything we want both veteran and new Battlefield players to..

If you're worried that invisible floors and missing textures might make it into the final version of Battlefield 3, don't

DICE has said its aware of the bugs present in the Battlefield 3 beta and that they will be resolved in time for the game's full release later in the month. It wasnt like when things surfaced in the beta we were caught by surprise and started fixing the main game,"..

Sledgehammer Games' gaffer -- and former Dead Space top-man -- Glen Schofield has dismissed any rivalry between Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, insisting his competition lies with Modern Warfare 2

For those unclear, Sledgehammer Games is working alongside the depleted Infinity Ward to prepare Modern Warfare 3 for release this Holiday. EA's been pretty vocal about its intentions..

We think it's pretty much set in stone how much fans want another Mirror's Edge game (we're right there with you

), but with DICE heavily involved in this year's first-person shooter showdown with Battlefield 3, you could be forgiven for thinking the series is off-limits for the time being. Realistically you'd probably be right, but that's not stopped DICE's Patrick Liu from making some noise about..

Battlefield 3 producer Patrick Liu has told The Guardian that the game's current beta test is lacking vehicles because it is

.. well, a beta — the insinuation being that it's a real test rather than a glorified demo. "We ran the alpha tests with a Rush map and we wanted to have some sort of reference so we could compare results  so we needed to have more-or-less the same map," he..

We like a bit of online multiplayer from time to time, but we're primarily single-player people

We enjoy spending time with a great narrative and being involved in a story. So while we think Battlefield 3's multiplayer actually looks pretty cool, it's certainly not the highlight for us. That accolade belongs to the campaign. And when the campaign is as visually stimulating as Battlefield 3, we..

In an effort to prove Battlefield 3 is a much bigger deal than Bad Company 2, DICE has revealed that the threequel's current open beta has six times the number of simultaneous players than its previous release

The news should stop there really, but Videogamer decided to do a bit of digging. The website reports that Battlefield: Bad Company 2's beta had about 230,000 simultaneous players. By..

We really like the Battlefield 3 beta, and to be honest we haven't had that many issues with it

But the whole point of these kind of multiplayer stress-tests is to isolate issues that might not have occurred during standard QA testing. And so naturally DICE has sifted through feedback from across the web to prepare a list of fixes that will be readied in time for the full release of Battlefield 3..

The Modern Warfare 3 versus Battlefield 3 'war' has been getting on our nerves

We feel like gamers have been acting needlessly contrary, probably in response to the popularity of Call Of Duty and the lingering assumption that the series needs to evolve. Competition certainly can't hurt, but its irritating watching fans praise a laborious Battlefield...

The Battlefield 3 beta is now available to everybody via the PlayStation Store

Just head to Sony's online digital market place and you'll find the client in the 'What's New' section. No need for activation keys, the beta will download immediately. It's just over a gigabyte in size. The Battlefield 3 beta includes access to the Operation Metro map and one game-type, Rush. It's set to run through to..

So much so it's offering console competitors $1.6 million worth of cash prizes in a Worldwide Conquest Tournament in conjunction with Virgin Gaming. The tournament — which is set to open in early 2012 — excludes PC gamers and is subsequently the biggest prize pool in console gaming history. The Battlefield series has always been a very..

What are you doing sitting here? The Battlefield 3 beta has gone live on the PlayStation Network, significantly earlier than expected

All you need to do is search 'Battlefield 3' on the PlayStation Store, and you'll find the relevant download. Remember, you'll need to have registered a PS3 copy of Medal Of Honor in order to download it. The download's 1173MB on PS3. It opens up access to one map..

) — the Battlefield 3 beta kicks-off today for those who purchased Medal Of Honor: Limited Edition on PlayStation 3. EA has said that keys will be sent out from lunch-time, but obviously there's a lot to get through so don't expect it bang on noon. "Please don't ask about 'when do I get my email' etc," gameplay designer Gustav Halling said..

This is brilliant. EA's released the full, final commercial for Battlefield 3. It still features Jay-Z, but it's much better cut than the teaser we posted late last week. But the real kicker is the tag-line: "Above And Beyond The Call". They don't even need to finish that phrase do they? Brilliant. The first-person shooter war kicks off proper next month.

There was a time not too long ago when Pro Evolution Soccer ruled the digital football roost

Not anymore. FIFA is an absolute monster in almost all of the territories it is released, with PES struggling to maintain market-share. EA believes its upcoming Battlefield 3 has the potential to claw back market share from competing shooters in the same way. One of my favourite sayings is Rome wasnt..

The game looks decent on the PlayStation 3. But in a recent interview with EDGE magazine, producer Patrick Liu insisted that console owners are not drawing the short straw, with Battlefield 3 every inch comparable to its PC counter-part on PS3. "[Console owners are] definitely not getting less of a game," Liu said. "It has the same..

Could this war get any hotter? With video game forums awash with discussion over the relative advantages and disadvantages of Battlefield 3 versus Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3; Sony's stepped in and snapped up timed exclusivity for each of Battlefield 3's DLC packs

The move's interesting because Microsoft has traditionally heavily associated...

EA's finally announced that the heavily, heavily anticipated Battlefield 3 beta will kick off on September 29th for everybody

Those that picked up Medal Of Honor will, as promised, get access a couple of days earlier on September 27th. Participants will be able to play on the Operation Metro map set in Paris. The map will be locked to Battlefield's...

But in Battlefield 3, if your tank gets hit by a rocket launcher, it's not much of a big deal. See, vehicles in Battlefield 3 are set to support replenishing armour. The armour will only replenish if the vehicle is kept out of the line of fire however. If it passes a specific damage threshold, it will be disabled, left to smoke and..

DICE isn't giving up on the Mirror's Edge series, is the message from the developer's creative boss Lars Gustavsson in an interview with VG247

No, the dream is definitely still there, he said. Its a game loved by the studio. Its one of those games where you miss the universe, such as Shadow of the Colossus. I really liked Alan Wake, for example; I miss being in that universe. I miss..

While the footage was tense and exciting, it was quickly blown away by the multiplayer trailer that concluded EA's press conference. Clearly running on a souped-up PC, the footage showed jet gameplay on a 64-player multiplayer map called Caspian Border. It's..

It will take players "years" to unlock Battlefield 3's array of unlocks according to the latest Battleblog

Developer DICE is promising ten-times the number of unlocks than Battlefield: Bad Company 2, with enormous unlock trees for vehicles, weapons and weapon attachments. The game's big marketing line is "play it your way", which is always nice so long as the game doesn't overwhelm you..

There's no official word on participating retailers in the US or UK just yet, but expect the usual outlets: Amazon, GAME, GameStop, etc. The goods themselves come in addition to the Back To Karkand expansion pack, which is included with all Limited Editions of the game. If you've pre-ordered Battlefield 3 then you're..

Battlefield's series producer, Patrick Bach, has reiterated that the developer has no plans to annualise the Battlefield franchise, citing that treating it like Activision's Call Of Duty would effectively kill the series

The business goals for us are not to release a game every year, Bach revealed in a chat with Gamerzines. If we were to release another big Battlefield title next year, that..

Ex-SAS operator turned author, Andy McNab, will pen an original Battlefield 3 novel to tie in with the game's release this October

The book, subtitled The Russian, will focus on a character named Dima, one of two characters featured in the game's single-player campaign. McNab's working alongside Peter Grimsdale on the novel. [Thanks VG247]

It's Mirror's Edge 2 rumour time, and this time the Official PlayStation Magazine's got the goods

According to inside whispers, DICE's first-person parkour adventure will return in the near future, leveraging the power of the developer's new uber-gorgeous engine, Frostbite 2. "The Frostbite 2 engine will pave the way for Mirror's Edge to make a free-running return," the magazine teased..

It's just not technically possible, with PC's packing much more potential horse-power than the PlayStation 3. As such, the console version of Battlefield 3 will be much more refined, limiting player-counts to just 24-players compared to the PC's 64-player cap. The biggest difference between the PC and console version of..

EA and Activision each want to dominate the first-person shooter pie, and that means Battlefield 3 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are preparing for a head-on collision later this year. It's a ballsy move from EA given Call Of Duty's mainstream popularity, but it's a battle that's thus far been fairly evenly matched. Battlefield 3's obviously..

EA's released some new footage for Battlefield 3's hotly anticipated multiplayer component

It looks great. Admittedly we're struggling with the hyperbole some folks are showering this game in. Don't get us wrong, the game looks fantastic. But we can't help but feel that if this trailer concluded with a big Call Of Duty logo, it would be met with complete apathy. On the specifics of the trailer..

We suspect most gamers that played the original Mirror's Edge live in hope of a sequel

While the original title was far from perfect, but it always felt like it was teetering on the edge of brilliance, in need of a little more iteration to fulfill its potential. Of course, Mirror's Edge succumbed to the new IP syndrome, selling poorly and being pushed to the back of EA's plans. The company has said..

Our anticipation for DICE's Battlefield 3 is a more a situation of curiosity

There's a venom in the gaming community that's wishing Call Of Duty would fail. The philosophy behind that sentiment is clear: Call Of Duty is a mainstream hit and people really dislike that. Battlefield is a popular alternative — an underdog if you will. Everything we've...

DICE has told PSM3 magazine that Battlefield 3 will boast ten co-op maps when it launches later in the year

The co-operative mode will be playable by up to two-players. No details on what those maps will contain yet, but with ten maps on offer it sounds like Battlefield 3 will boast a seriously robust co-op component.

To the people that thought Battlefield 3 was going to look as good on the PlayStation 3 as on the PC: you're mad

Literally clinically insane. (Probably.) The fracas appears to revolve around two issues: resolution and frame-rate. Battlefield 3 runs at 30 frames-per-second with a resolution of 720p on PlayStation 3. On a high-end PC, the game can push 60FPS at 1080p. People were genuinely asking..

After taking a moment to gloat over Call Of Duty: Elite, EA has slapped an October 25th release date on Battlefield 3. That's a couple of weeks ahead of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's November 8th street date. Accompanied by a stunning gameplay demo, EA also revealed that Battlefield 3 will get a multi-platform beta in September. Those that purchased copies of Medal Of..

You can't fault EA for being ambitious, but releasing Battlefield 3 in the exact same release window as the next Call Of Duty sounds like suicide to us

Still, that's exactly what the publisher intends to do according to retail sources familiar with the matter. MCV reports that EA is intending to drop Battlefield 3 "within days" of the next Call Of Duty release, which is set to be..

We still don't know anything about Battlefield 3's core multiplayer experience, but the developer is really keen to talk about the premium DLC that comes free with preorders of the game. Odd. The DLC — entitled Back To Karkand — features several classic maps from Battlefield's heritage, which, according to lead designer Niklas Fegraeus, are some of the "best..

EA's added fuel to the flames of the developing rift between Battlefield 3 and the next Call Of Duty title

Speaking at an investors conference overnight, EA gaffer John Riccitiello said DICE's Battlefield 3 is "superior" to Call Of Duty in every way. Riccitiello added that the publisher aims to take a big chunk of Activision's Call Of Duty market with the modern military shooter. "We..

Hurriedly announced after a teaser trailer leaked on a retail website, EA has confirmed that Need For Speed: The Run is a genuine video game due for release on PlayStation 3 this year

The game's pushing the Need For Speed franchise back into the realm of underground illicit, high-stakes racing, after Shift and Hot Pursuit both took the series in different directions. Fascinatingly, Need For..

But everything we've seen of Battlefield 3 has also been running on a computer as big as Buckingham Palace. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the PlayStation 3 version won't look quite as good. Speaking with VideoGamer, DICE executive Patrick Bach revealed that the console port will lack "higher resolution, the higher..

One of the most exciting gaming stories of this year is EA's war with Activision for the first-person shooter crown

In the red corner is EA's Battlefield 3, with the inevitable November Call Of Duty release sitting in the blue corner. Speaking at the Ad Age Conference in New York, EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed that both publishers will drop "a couple hundred million dollars [worth of]..

EA's released the third in its series of Battlefield 3 gameplay teasers, promising that there will be a full reveal on April 17th

Frankly the game looks phenomenal. We appreciate this footage is probably running on a PC the size of our house, but DICE has always been good about maximising the potential of its PlayStation 3 games. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 looked stunning on PS3. This game is going..

It’s no secret that Killzone 3 rocked the world with its release recently. Amazing graphics, gameplay and multiplayer are all spot-on, but it seems that its Move implementation drew more news buzz more than anything. Killzone 3 proved that Move could offer exceptional controls in the FPS genre, and for some, even rival the...

EA Games' president Frank Gibeau has sworn that he did not kill Mirror's Edge 2, telling CVG that the game is definitely not dead

"I greenlight the games. I did not kill it — as God is my witness," he said. The exec added the publisher is looking for ways to bring back the franchise in "a way that fans will be excited," while still hitting a larger audience. "We need to..

We showed you exactly why earlier this morning. DICE's Frostbite engine is really pushing boundaries this time, with some outrageously speculative lighting and animation. In fact, DICE cites the engine as the reason for the very reason for the game taking so long — the developer refused to make the game until the right tech was in place. Frostbite 2..

You might not like video games at all. But you have to admit, this debut Battlefield 3 trailer is pretty darn amazing. The lighting, animation and general image quality is out of this world, even if the trailer probably is captured from a super computer. According to DICE, the game uses technology established in EA's sports titles to create the uncanny animation. "I..
